NAME

cookietool - program to operate cookie (fortune) database  

SYNOPSIS

cookietool [options] <database>  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the cookietool command.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has some plaintext documentation, see below.

cookietool is a program that should be used to sort, clear and maintain cookie database in standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of `cookies' delimited with line containing a single percent (`%') char.  

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory

-a

-s[l|w|<sep>|s]
sort cookies; looking after last line only; looking after last word only; starting after the last <sep>, e.g. `-s--'; by size
